Space!
Peter Dalrymple (PDalrymple) on: Year 3 Class Blog
This morning, the children had an amazing experience going to Space in our planetarium! Some children were not sure what to expect but they were all very excited once we got to the hall to find a giant dome filling the space! Inside, they had to be super quiet and listen to a talk about the moon (Did you know it's +127 degrees in the light on the moon and -173 in the shade?!) before watching a short film about Neil Armstrong's moon landing in 1969, which will really help us with our history topic about explorers this half term! The icing on the cake was definitely when the children got to lie down as day turned to night and the stars came out! There were lots of 'Ooohs' and 'Aaahs' as the constellations were brought to life - perhaps a spot of star-gazing this weekend, if Storm Amy allows! Pictures to follow on Mr Dalrymple's newsletter.
A super learning week!

Year 3 have covered such a range of learning this week, it’s hard to know where to begin! I bet they would love to share with you what they know about primary and secondary sources, number lines, how to count to 10 in French, what the Creation story means to Christians, the human skeleton or even the name for a group of butterflies..! They might also tell you about their amazing independent writing on The Last Bear but you’re going to have to wait until Parents’ Evening to have the pleasure of reading them on our beautiful display! Have a lovely weekend, everyone!
Rockstars
Peter Dalrymple (PDalrymple) on: Year 3 Class Blog
What a great day! The children looked amazing for Times Tables Rockstars Day! It was so hard to choose costume winners but Jake and Ted just pipped several others to the post - thank you all for your efforts!
We enjoyed an extra long session of TTRS in class too, with a few children (and a certain teacher!) showing their competitive side in our class arenas! Ted, Leo and Ollie are my closest rivals for now…but if previous years are anything to go by, I’ll soon be left for dust for much of the class! Keep practising, Year 3 - you’re well on the way to Rock Hero status!
Sticking with the maths theme, don’t forget Mathletics tasks are set on Fridays - well done to those who’ve been keeping up so far!
And finally, spellings homework did go out today but several sheets were left behind so they’ll be ready for Monday if you don’t have one.
Have a great weekend, everyone

Greek Day and Goodbyes
Peter Dalrymple (PDalrymple) on: Year 3 Class Blog
To round off the year, we held a Greek Day in Year 3, and what brilliant outfits the children had! Thank you for all your efforts to set the scene for the day! The children had great fun working in teams as architects and were so excited to show off all their history, art and singing to the parents/careers at the end of the day - thank you so much for coming!
Thank you also for all our end of year gifts - they are much appreciated. Have a great summer!
